This silly picture shows just how close we are to the border. Bob happens to be driving, and he made the turn before the camera booted up. In spite of the mirror blocking the view, what I am trying to show is the US Customs near the Canadian border.

While fumbling for parking meter money, a nice young couple from Portland OR helped us out. Not only did they donate fifty cents to our cause (parking meters were not exactly on our minds & we came unprepared) they also explained that good restaurants were few and far between. One of their suggestions was the Skinny Pancake. Shown above is the cart version, but we decide to walk down to Lake Street for the real deal, and were glad we did. Thanks you two!

It turns out we have arrived on the worst of weekends, or I should say this particular Friday. Burlington is home to the University of Vermont, Champlain College, Trinity College, and St. Michaela College, and this is the weekend all the parents are bringing their charges for orientation weekend. What a traffic mess! For the rest of the weekend, you can be certain we'll stay out of the city!

About Me

Bob and I spend over 7 months each year discovering America. In 2009, our travels took us through 31 states and the Disctrict of Columbia. In 2011 we were fortunate to travel to Alaska & back, and again in 2012, we toured most of the US and were able to include the Atlantic Provinces of Canada!
Historical sites and places of interest with an emphasis on rural America is what we strive to visit.
Although we consider ourselves full-timers, From January through April we remain stationary to better serve our clients preparing income taxes. While on the road we continue to provide income tax planning & preparation services.
